Summary

In "The Boys of the 'Puffin': A Sea Scout Yarn," Percy F. Westerman crafts an engrossing narrative that immerses readers in the adventurous world of sea scouting. The novel showcases Westerman's signature literary style, characterized by vivid descriptions and adventurous plots, as it follows a group of boys engaged in nautical exploits on their beloved sailing vessel, the Puffin. The book serves as both an entertaining tale and a vivid reflection of early 20th-century British youth culture, emphasizing themes of camaraderie, adventure, and moral growth, all set against the picturesque backdrop of the British coastline. Percy F. Westerman, a prolific author of children's adventure novels, drew upon his own experiences as a sailor and his extensive understanding of maritime life when writing this tale. Having served in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve during World War I, Westerman was deeply influenced by notions of bravery, teamwork, and the thrill of the sea, which are intricately woven into the fabric of this engaging story. His passion for the ocean and youthful exploration resonated strongly through his writing, making his novels highly influential among young readers of his time. I highly recommend "The Boys of the 'Puffin'" to anyone seeking an exhilarating journey filled with youthful spirit, adventure, and friendship. This novel not only enchants with its spirited narrative but also instills lasting values of teamwork and resilience. Westerman's tale will surely appeal to both young and mature audiences alike, making it a timeless addition to the canon of adventure literature.

    Once upon a time, there was a girl named Ella who wanted nothing more than to have magic. Not the kind of magic to cast spells. No, she wanted a different kind. Especially the day that her puppy, Bear, tried to play with the cat. 
"Ella!" Her mother laughed when she saw Ella in the animal yard, covered in mud. "What are you doing?" 
Ella sighed and let the wriggling puppy go. "He made the cat angry, and the cat scratched him all up, and now he won't let me help him." She frowned at the dog. "I wish I had magic. Then I could fix his cuts up with just a few magic words." 
My Ella," her mother said, wiping the mud from Ella's face. "The magic God gives us isn't like fairy magic. Rather, it's the ability to show love. Love is our magic." 
Ella began to rub healing medicine on the dog's cuts. "That doesn't make it easy." 
"It isn't easy," her mother said. "But you have hands to heal with and a tongue with which to speak kind truths. Practice love, and your actions and words will be more powerful than you can know." 
Inspired by the original tales of Charles Perrault and the Brothers Grimm, Cinderella comes to life again in this story of strength, magic, faith, and love. As with all the Illustrated Fairy Tale Classics, this book is brought to life by Kimi Weldon's heartfelt narration, and will inspire children and adults alike time and time again as Ella discovers just how far the magic of love can take her. 
Read Cinderella today to create new memories with your child and rediscover the magic all over again.
